Recycle Creative Materials

We use materials of all sorts at Loudwater to support a whole range of different projects with our service users, activity days and through sales of craft packs and items made in the Studio.

Loudwater is part of the charity Vision Homes and funding materials can sometimes be difficult so we’d love your help.

Just some of the things we regularly use are:

Fabric

Thread / Cottons

Wool

Buttons

Glitter

Glue

Paint

Sequins

Beads

Pastels

Glaze

Clay

Card

Coloured Paper

Foam / Padding

But the scope for what we could upcycle is endless.

Are you a manufacturer or retailer that has roll ends or redundant stock that you’d be happy to donate? We’re happy to collect, particularly if there’s a large amount to fill one of our vehicles. We’re also keen to set up community donation points across Shropshire, do you have a small space within your facility that could be put aside for donations? If you can help in any way please get in touch, we’d love to talk to you.

The poppies have finally been planted! You’ll now find them at St Laurence’s Church, Ludlow. One poppy for every soldier from Ludlow that lost thier life in World War One, 143 in total, all made by local people looking lovely in the sun. Thank you to everyone who made a poppy, we couldn’t have done it without you. ... See more

As the poppies get ready to leave the studio we wanted to let you know that the poppies will all be sold to raise funds for Ludlow Royal British Legion. As they’ve been made by the local community we wanted them to be affordable to all so they are being sold for £6.50 each. If you’d like a poppy you can order one now by contacting us at the Studio or via eBay (search for Ludlow Commemorative Poppy). ... See more
